June Sketch Requests

This may be a small secret but despite liking many summer activities, I do not like the summer. I don't like bugs, heat or humidity. So the theme this month will be COOL DOWN. Bonus points if your method of cooling down doesn't involve clothing, natch

  1. I usually only select about 6-10 to draw.
2. Please post references for anything that's not easily searchable on google images. I'll sometimes consider text description for a single character so long as it's not overly complicated.
3. The drawings will be whatever I find convenient at sketch time! Sometimes sketches, sometimes inked, sometimes physical, sometimes digital!
4. Although I will try to step out of my comfort zone for several, you usually have a better chance if you request something I like to draw (Check out the stuff I do for fun if you need an idea https://www.weasyl.com/submissions/rickgriffin?folderid=15100 )
5. Two character limit, though also keep in mind that two characters are harder to draw than one character, so I will often select one-character drawings. Any drawing that necessitates three characters or more will NOT be selected.

<a href="https://m.imgur.com/GrwSWqZ.png" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://m.imgur.com/GrwSWqZ.png</a> Can I get my sona gaming on the couch naked, trying to get cool and panting as he fails to cool down. Last time when you drew him with a sheath was great! :) Thank you!

Poolside with a sudden bucket of water over the head. XD

If you're still taking ideas, I would like to see Capybara!Gabe (<a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/dibpcu70iz6bw3d/CapyGabeTurnAroundColor.jpg?dl=0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.dropbox.com/s/dibpcu70iz6bw3d/CapyGabeTurnAroundColor.jpg?dl=0</a> ) lazing about in one of those plastic kiddie pools. No need for swim trunks, not that there's anything that needs to be covered.

NogitsuneGabe

Karishad about to turn on, or has turned on, a huge industrial fan. In the latter case, you get to draw the cool fur effects caused by extreme wind Possibly with Karishad holding onto something to not be blown away, but feeling very refreshed

Federick

Jenna. Hot, sweaty. Cooling herself off with a waterhose. Clothing optional but if anything is present it should be a plain white t-shirt

Stoker Bramwell

<a href="http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14020150/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14020150/</a> Cool down with as little, or no, clothing at all. Lay back in front of a fan. Slowly consuming a popcicle. Chilling both inside and outside.

Tenki-101

That also is a good one! :)

Jason Robert Saylor

Zach in a windtunnel (The most extreme cooling fan), being blown backwards. He is confused while looking up, seeing Karishad with his paws outstretched and somehow flying.

Frost Endwood

... After enjoying a really fun Father's Day with my dad and nephews... I really, really hope we get some furries having fun on a Slip+Slide down a big hill! That is a REALLY great way to have fun and cool off.

Scripted Anarchy

Breel overheated and sweaty from summer heat... and discovering the magic that is air conditioning! Pretty sure it was invented after he died... XP

Dreamous Iceling

Maybe a tiny mouse laying on top of an ice cube to stay cool? Alternatively, how about Rick trying to beat the heat with a little kiddie pool in the backyard? Laying in it as much as he can, totally heat-exhausted and nude.

I always cool off in the summer by taking a nice swim in the pool, so would you be ok drawing Tyro skinny dipping in the pool or swimming int it (Doesn't have to have wings) NSFW REF: <a href="http://d.facdn.net/art/loyboys215/1318584656/1318584656.loyboys215_1318527840.shalonesk_tyro_ref_copy.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://d.facdn.net/art/loyboys215/1318584656/1318584656.loyboys215_1318527840.shalonesk_tyro_ref_copy.jpg</a>

Tyro Thunderdrone

Methinks Fox gets super hot in all that fur, perhaps Bailey can help him cool off with a bucket of ice water!

Actually... Screw it. I'd rather get Sarth reclining by a rooftop pool with her skirt and collar discarded - maybe with someone else doing a goddamn Cannonball to soak her.

Sounds like fun! Idea: Ritzy the Fennec/Red Fox, standing at an Ice cream vendor cart stationed at a nude beach. Him wearing nothing but a cute ice cream vendor's hat (Also known as a Soda Jerk) and a bow-tie around his neck. He leans against the cart, ice cream cone in paw with two large scoops on it giving a cute wink to the passersby.

Spooky Boogie

I'll give this a shot! Idea: Estelle the Maned Wolf, stripped down and reclining in a tastefully nude manner within a mountain spring, exhausted and panting. Her clothes sprawled out along the ground beside her and her fingers dipped into the water. Sheets of ice extend out from Estelle's fingers and collect upon the top of the spring as she uses a spell to cool it, and herself, down in a hurry.

RaddaReep

It's my birthmonth! I would normally suggest Sarth, but I've gone to my Charr Dagryl Rattlespur as my main character lately, and just stripping out of her armor alone would be a nice way to cool down: <a href="https://imgur.com/XO0MNkB" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://imgur.com/XO0MNkB</a> <a href="https://imgur.com/q3YddK3" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://imgur.com/q3YddK3</a> ... I really, really wish I had art of my Hyena character. I keep meaning to draw her, then forgetting, so I can get more art of her.

Sartharina/Scow2

So Gargoyles ~ They had no idea how we cool down in the 20th century when they first arrived. I'm thinking we could get them to try out some of our gadgets ~ and fail miserably at it. Brooklyn is that Gargoyle. <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/gbnc058zagri7ox/Brooklyn.png?dl=0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.dropbox.com/s/gbnc058zagri7ox/Brooklyn.png?dl=0</a> We're going to get him to try using a large freezer box for example - except he picks up the whole thing and thinks he dumps it on himself. ice cubes, snow, and maybe some ice cream to go with it when they start falling on him ~ but that doesn't bother him. What's more important is: How does the box work? Did a wizard put cold air in the box? EDIT: Could also have him stuck in a freezer room with sunglasses on and enjoying the cold too much, but since he can't read he doesn't know what "DANGER" means next to the frozen statue of Kitsune, who is TRYING to give Brooklyn a non-verbal warning that the room is going to freeze him to death.

Was being social and in a big rush when I wrote this yesterday...missed an update or two to the drive for our references, everything should be there now. ^^;

Well, I always do say that there's only so many clothes you can take off to deal with the heat until it's illegal, but I suppose having a built-in fur coat gives one an exception! With that in mind, how about my office werewolf gal Dakota taking off her top and going au naturale to deal with the heat in the office. Maybe with her bear lady coworker taking a peek from around the cubicle, perhaps? <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/y600jl08h6yc7rx/dakota2.jpg?dl=0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.dropbox.com/s/y600jl08h6yc7rx/dakota2.jpg?dl=0</a> <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/9lx241vt9qpqrz4/gabe-3-17.jpg?dl=0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.dropbox.com/s/9lx241vt9qpqrz4/gabe-3-17.jpg?dl=0</a>

How about a sketch with your border collie character from the Farm Life pic wanting to wash himself with a hose after a long day of work, only to find one of the farm ladies (I'll let you decide who) already using the hose to wash herself. She sees the surprised border collie and signals him to join her.

How about a pic of my ferret character, Barnaby prancing through a field (au naturale of course) while sprinklers shower down on him.

Two kangaroos cooling down with a cold treat outside. Mother and daughter resting together under the shade of a tree. It may seem simple but often those are the joys in life. Sharing time with family can be a treasure. My two roo characters as an offer.

It's been about a year since I participated in a request so I'll stay on a theme and ask for my lion and lioness swimming at the nudist camp! Same characters, something like them floating in the pool, maybe at dusk or in the evening hours. I'm framing the one you made last time and putting it on the wall at our real camp we just bought at the nudist resort and would love to have another to continue the theme! We love supporting your work!

I'm in the same boat sorta. I love summer because it's prime motorcycle season but wearing all that gear in the heat is awful. wearing leathers combined with a hot engine under you and the sun beating down makes standing still torture. However, once you get the bike moving the wind against you is the best feeling ever. I imagine Charli and the rest of the Desert Angels sympathize with this issue. The idea I had in mind was one of the girls riding topless in a desperate attempt to stay cool on a hot summer day. To avoid having to draw an entire bike I was thinking shots like these: <a href="http://sturgiszone.com/picsphotos/bikerchick/bikerchick2004june09.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://sturgiszone.com/picsphotos/bikerchick/bikerchick2004june09.html</a> <a href="https://dissolve.com/stock-photo/Female-biker-wearing-crash-helmet-while-riding-motorcycle-royalty-free-image/101-D1061-212-028" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://dissolve.com/stock-photo/Female-biker-wearing-crash-helmet-while-riding-motorcycle-royalty-free-image/101-D1061-212-028</a> Maybe the character could be wearing goggles too to keep those awful bugs from hitting their eyes. Safety first you know. Just hope no local law catches the act :P

Or remember that storyboard sketch where Riley was in the fridge a razors. Well what if you did Riley trying to cool off from the heat in a convenience store freezer nude while enjoying a popsicle where a customer is caught by surprise. One of the two suggestions would be fine.

My character and possibly my friends character enjoying a nice large popsicle or ice cream cone.
